All Angled Gauge Setups Include Universal Brackets:
http://images42.fotki.com/v664/photos/2/47612/9700254/IMG_8729-vi.jpg
The brackets can be cut/modified to accommodate virtually any gauge. This will ensure the gauges do not budge when mounted in the plate. On top of that, the mounting bracket gives you the ability to also make a mounting system to hold the plate to the dash. You can simply tap out the center of the bracket and use some threaded rod to make a rock solid mounting system. I like to cut some aluminum strips to make "washers" and then some simple wing nuts to fasten it in the dash. The wing nuts make it simple to fasten while the dash is still in the car. You can find examples of the modified brackets and mounting system below. Note: I do not sell the mounting system, as it can vary depending on the brand and model of gauge. So I leave that to the consumer if they so choose.

wouldnt you just mount it upside down?
Broadfield
01-01-2013, 10:26 PM
Yes, you would simply rotate the plate 180 degrees.

Thanks for the feedback!

I have not had a chance to research/fabricate any new parts yet. I know that there's not much of a demand for something like that, so it's not at the top of my list. If you want to send me a vent setup and let me take my time with it, I will sell you the outcome for cheap if it works out.

I completely agree!

Well there's no "modular" place to put something like this in an S14.... so no. But I can mold in anything you want in the vent area, ash tray area etc. You can find some examples of my work here:

How much for one like this? Would you be able to do 2 62mm and 1 52mm? 62mm are for the greddy d/a multi gauge. Thanks

I'm not sure 62mm's are going to fit there. As you can see, 52mm's barely have enough room to fit comfortably. I wouldn't know for sure until I had the panel and gauges in my possession to see how it all lays out.
I stand by the fact that all of my work looks like it belongs and has a nice flow to it. I'm not trying to cram 10 pounds of crap into a 7 pound bag.
If everything "can" fit, then the price would range from $250 - $450 depending on how you want the gauges mounted(angled, flushed, surfaced etc.) and how you want it finished(smooth or textured).

I'm not sure what Haemi gauges are, but if they are 52mm then I don't see why they wouldn't fit.

(2) 52mm angled with vent. Do I just rip out all the plastic? I got most of the plastic out of the way but I'm just not sure. I would really rather not remove the dash. Btw thanks for your help.

You need to remove the 2 vents by popping each end out with a plastic pry tool or a flat blade screw driver. Once you have the two vents out, you will be able to see the plastic retaining tabs that hold the vent housing/surround in the dash... two on the top and two on the bottom per vent opening. Simply take a 90 degree hook pic and pull the taps inward as you pull/pry out on the vent housing/surround. It will take a little finesse, but should take no longer than 5 minutes. That's all that needs to be removed to install the plate.

Simply? Nothing is "simply" done. But thanks, that is what I thought had to be done, those tabs are killing me. Now I get to buy more tools yay. Thanks again!

Yeah, it can be tedious with those tabs. You almost need 10 hands so you can pry all of them inward at the same time. Because if you pry it inward and then release the hook pick to move onto the next tab, the first tab will probably drop back in. You may have to pry up a tab, place something thin in there under that tab to keep it out while you work on the next tab. Or, just pry the shit out of the tabs so you essentially bend them inward permanently... even breaking them. I doubt you will ever need to put that vent back in.

So on the (2) 52mm vented plate, can it still function to blow air through the vent in the plate? And does it show much behind the dash (through the vents I mean)? I figure even if it does it wouldn't be hard to cut up a small filter to put behind it.
Probably an incredibly stupid question, but I'm too lazy to figure it out myself right now, lol.

Yes, that is the point behind it... to still allow some air flow through the vent slots. If I personally had this in my car, I would make sure everything behind there was finished in black. So if the gauge bodies were something other than black, I would spray paint them black. I would then make sure the wires for the gauges were wrapped in something black... black electrical tape, black split loom, black braided sleeving etc.
Any $19 blanks in stock?
I do not... I've only sold one ever and I had it in stock for over a year. It would be another 3-4 weeks before I would have that back in stock.
